Predict the league competition

[womble76]

Yes please

 

[shoddycollins]

Thanks Sergei... I don't think I was about to do this anytime soon, hardly even been on this forum the last couple of weeks... real life intervening and all, though if I do I will post the results I have up here for verification and in case there are any gaps in your list of people.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Please I'd be interested to see the table I predicted. Think I had Wycombe bottom 4 and Carlisle top 7...

 

[Boz]

Me too, please.

One thing strikes me as very odd about the above table. All the points are an even number. Perhaps I am not as good at excel macros as I thought I was.

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

So I know more than most.

Take note, guys

One thing strikes me as very odd about the above table. All the points are an even number. Perhaps I am not as good at excel macros as I thought I was.

I found that out too when I worked out the results (I worked them out to test the spreadsheet before the season had finished)... I couldn't figure out for definite why that was, but my guess was that to get from the actual table to any one person's predicted table, you're swapping teams around, and each time you do that, the person gets the same number of points for each misplaced team, therefore an even number (i.e. swap two teams that are 3 places apart and you increase their score by 6). So presumably all misplacements involve swapping and therefore there is no way you can move teams around and end up with an odd number. However even more mysteriously, there two odd scores, and I couldn't work out whether there had been an error in calculating them.

Can you work mine out, please.

I seem to recall tipping Bury and Shrewsbury. So may not be a total lost cause!

You predict what the table will look like come the end of the season, positions 1-24. For example:
1. Carlisle
2. Luton
3. Plymouth
And so on...
Hasn't started for next season yet

 

[LordJord]

I thought for a second I had done well getting the joint most points. Then realised the idea is to get as few as possible..

[oakroader]

how are the points allocated?

 

[cufc17]

The aim is to get as few points as possible. The closer a team finishes to your predicted position, the less points you get.
Say, if you pick Luton to finish 1st, and come the end of the season they are 2nd, that would be 1 point, but if they finish 3rd, it'd be 2 points.





I think, anyway..

Sergei I think we must have had the same strategy, we were that last ones I think to make our predictions, and we both have spreadsheets with everyone's predictions in... And we both did shit. Equally shit (though there were some I think with over two hundred)

 

[Trapdoor]

I'm sure I submitted a list - Anonymous(ECFC) :s

 

[womble76]

Did you miss my yes please. (If you are busy I apologise.

 

[Sergei from IT]

I'm sure I submitted a list - Anonymous(ECFC) :s

Post 23 of this thread contains a complete list of people who entered and the name they used. If you are not on that list there is nothing I can do.

Yes - I did miss you - sorry about that.
